@kido I think a lot of people held back from entering thinking that there was someone out there that could use it more than they could. I know that's what I thought. It was a lovely idea but I don't envy you for trying to decide which one of the two should receive it. Maybe put the names on a paper plane and have your fur babies around and what ever plane they play with first is the winner.

You're probably right. I think some people who do care for "just a few" ferals were holding back on entering to make room for those with large colonies. Either way, some lucky kitties will be getting some yummy treats and that's never a bad thing. It was a lovely gesture!! Hugs to @kido for that. Having your cats choose the winner is a great idea, too!!

It was the idea, to let my cats decide, all along. Just wasn't sure if they'd cooperate, so I didn't want to make any promises
In the end they did great and I have it “on tape”!
Since it's already past 2AM here, I'll upload the draw-video on Tuesday evening. Apologies for yet another delay, Monday got much busier than I expected.

I printed out the two names and put the respective pieces of paper on Cat Dancer. Then I asked my cousin to play with the Esteemed Commission so that they could help us choose the winner.
Although not everyone participated and there was some struggle when it came to tearing the ticket off the toy, I think that Celina's move to pick the winner in the last scene was as pro as it gets

Congratulations!
I'll let Anne know so you two can get in touch and sort out the shipping details.
I hid the name for the time being so that those of you who like a bit of suspense can watch the video without a spoiler
Just so you know who's who, in order of appearance:
- Portos (the blonde cute)
- Chester (the ginger cute)
- Ofelia (the gray cute)
- Celina (the calico cute)
- Amelia (the other calico cute)
Oh, and the draw took place in a cabin I built to host my rescues. Project in progress, hence the mess.

So, without further ado, here comes the big draw!
The cats have spoken and the winner is:

Last but not least, I wanted to thank both participants and all of you for your kind words and support.

No, Yoda is waaay past the toy chasing phase. If it ain't got heartbeat, it ain't worth chasing by her book. I asked a few of my other rescues to run the draw, you can see them in the video I posted above.
And this is Yoda, it's a girl BTW:
Congratulations to the winner 
Great video! That looked like so much fun.

Kido, that is a great video showing the fur crew's winner selection process. It looked like everyone had fun there and sets a great precident for future prize draws. Love it.
Great job on the video. Very clever way to decide the winner.

Beautiful kitties. Sorry about that Yoda. She's a very pretty girl kitty. Such pretty blue eyes. Thank you again @kido for the contest. All of them did look like they had a lot of fun playing. Was that a cat dancer toy?

Don't worry, I know Yoda is suppose to be male's name, but she used to pretend she's Yoda a lot when she was little, and the name just sticked to her:
And yes, that was a Cat Dancer toy, seemed like the right tool for the job.
OK, I hope you'll get these snacks soon so you can share some happy cat pictures. Let's hope they'll like their prize

Hi and welcome to TCS!
I guess Yodas are a rare breed. BTW, I also have cats named: Padmé, Leia and Luke... and I'm not even Star Wars fan
Meow the force be with you!

@kido I received the package today. Its 5 pouches of treats and 4 cans of food. I'll post some pictures once I set it out. Thank you. I'll most likely set it out for the 7 kitties who hang closer to home and not in the woods.

Okay, this is the kitty crew, the ones who hang out closer to home. In the top picture, the cats from left, are Reese, Daisy, Spit Fire, Slippers, Fuzzie and Kit
The bottom cat looking at the Camera is Sweet Pie.
They all enjoyed it very much. Thank you again Kido and Yoda.
